Terminator Bases
« on: December 12, 2011, 09:35:18 AM »
Hey All,

I have a bunch of old school terminators, set on their wee-small bases.  Two questions:  Can I order packs of the new large bases?  I couldn't really find any listings on the GW site.  The other question:  Do I have to rebase them?  For tournaments and such?  Smaller bases might help with teleporting...

Edit:  I should also ask, "Does anyone have any extra terminator bases?"

In tourneys you can use the old bases.

Because your using the bases that came with the model's. You should how ever try to rebase them :)

*Galeforce nine makes "wicked cheap bases" that are dirt cheap its something like $8 for like 30+ of the bases there not plastic but some kind of wood composite. You can special order them from BG. I did.

We use the INAT FAQ for our tournaments.  If I recall correctly, INAT asks for players to base terminators on the new, "medium" sized base.  We ask players to comply with that as often as possible.

There are a few options as far attaining the 40mm bases.

GW has then in 5-packs for $4.50.  We have to special order them though.
GaleForce9 has several options, like Jeff mentioned above.
You can always trade for them.
etc.
etc.

This came up in the Doubles tournament I believe. Models need to be on the bases they currently come with retail. Terminators, 40mm bases.

Better yet, needing new bases is a great excuse to pick up some sweet resin bases.

I have a soft spot for these:

because they look badass, but the only 40mm base unit Guard has is Ogryns :P

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I need a total of like 16, and I want to do it cheap-er... I can't find the "wicked cheap bases" from gale force 9, I think they might have stopped doing those.  GW it is, I think!
